Get a Birth Certificate in Sanborn County, SD
Fees for this service are set by state statute. Here's what to expect in Sanborn County.
“The register of deeds shall be the local registrar of vital records for each registration district in this state” (SDCL 34-25-4.1), and the Department of Health says to order “in person at the State Office, 221 West Capitol Avenue, Pierre, SD 57501, or any South Dakota Register of Deeds”. A certified birth copy is $15.00: $13 under the Department's rule (ARSD 44:09:06:02(1)) and $2 more by statute for the children's trust fund (SDCL 34-25-52.2). The Department of Health's published $15.00 already includes that $2.
Mail it to Vital Records, 221 W Capitol Ave, Pierre, or ask for a certified birth copy in person at any South Dakota register of deeds.
